I'd argue 2 types of users are

* People using it as a tool, aware of its limitations and treating it basically as intern/boring task executor (whether its some code boilerplate, or pooping out/shortening some corporate email), or as tool to give themselves summary of topic they can then bite into deeper.

* People outsourcing thinking and entire skillset to it - they usually have very little clue in the topic, are interested only in results, and are not interested in knowing more about the topic or honing their skills in the topic

The second group is one that thinks talking to a chatbot will replace senior developer

This, I have a friend using AI bots to do the whole "brain processing", he is just pressing buttons now. Even some smart cooking pan they bought (couple), uses an app with AI in it.

I can see the day that all of these folks completing replacing their thinking skill with AI, unable to find job because they can no longer troubleshoot anything without AI.

I use AI as replacement for search engine, I spent 3 nights using ChatGPT to assist me in deploying a Proxmox LXC container running 4 network services and the whole traffic is routed to Proton VPN via WireGuard. If the VPN goes down, the whole container network stops without using my real IP. Everything was done via Ansible which I use to manage my homelad, and was able to identify mistakes and fix them myself. Dude, I have learned a ton with LXC and sort of moving away from VMs.
